But yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be gone
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong
But just in case
It's my place
To impart
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son
Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do
Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
Always tell the truth, say your prayers
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
You're living proof that dreams do come true
I love you and I'm here for you
This is part of the last verse of Will Smith’s song “Just the Two of Us”. It is a song he wrote for his son and when Robert was a little boy it became our song. Now, out of all the different types of music I like most people think I like heavy metal and I guess that is one of my favorites. But I listen to many genres, enough to make some people scratch their heads about my tastes. But I have to say out of all the types of music I enjoy it is rare that I find myself liking a rap song. And while there are a few Will Smith songs that I liked he is not one I would choose to listen to of my own free will. However, Robert when he was young really liked the movie Men in Black and Will Smith sang the theme song. So, Robert was given the CD. This song was on it. You never know what you will do for your kids until you have them, including watching Barney, or taking them to see a Power Rangers play. I listened to Will Smith for Robert as well. We listened to this song a lot. I really like the message. I hope that if Robert ever hears the song that he looks back fondly on times we spent together when he was young. I heard this song the other day and I couldn’t help but get a bit teary eyed. Son, if you are reading this I still love you and I’m here for you.
